How to Grow Giant Pumpkins
How to grow giant pumpkins is a beginner’s guide to growing giant pumpkins. I started in 2008 in a really strong giant pumpkin region. My first contact with a giant pumpkin grow was with Jim Beauchemin. Jim is the guy who guy who made the DVD “the Secrets of growing champion giant pumpkins”. I watched is DVD over ten time that first season and I started going to a few New Hampshire giant pumpkin growers meeting and pumpkin patch field trips. I was able to ask veteran growers every question that popped into my head. The one thing I learned is I’ll never know everything because the hobby is constantly changing.In year 2000 the world record giant pumpkin was 1,140 lbs., by 2005 it jumped up to 1,469 lbs. That’s an increase of 329 lbs. in only 5 years. By year 2010 the record is 1,810 lbs. That’s 59% or 670 lb. increase weight in only 10 years. This hobby is changing faster than the weather. My goal is to point you in the right direction; you don’t have to have the world record to in joy working in your first pumpkin patch.
